LSU does not need to take the risk so offered a gray shirt
This would be clearer if we knew for certain if LSU was able to back count only 2 instead of 4. If 4, there is no reason not to sign him now. The only thing it could impact is the 85, and I don't think that is a true obstacle.
If only 2 could be backcounted, then he is indeed a risk because we actually would lose a spot in the 25 if he failed to qualify.
The point is if 4 is the answer, then most likely he is being encouraged to leave. He is only a real risk if the answer is 2.

UK may be willing to take a chance that he is cleared - LSU was not.
UK can take that risk to get a 4 -star caliber player, LSU does not need to take the risk so offered a gray shirt
That's the key. LSU had guys willing to come on board with either less risk...or a much higher upside which made it worth the risk.
Kids who are not in the clear are at risk for being asked to grayshirt. I fully support LSU for that. LSU can't afford to have a spot go to waste unless the reward of getting him on campus is much larger than the risk involved.
